PETER CHIANCA: As we get caught up in our busy lives, I think it’s important that, every so often, someone steps back and reminds us that if we’re not careful, we’re going to find ourselves subjugated by killer robots. http://www.gatehousenewsservice.com/opinions/columnists/x325167348

DEIRDRE REILLY: We had a dog for 13 years. That dog, Brandy, I think of as the dog of my life – adopted from a shelter, she had an air of gratefulness and loyalty that I had never even imagined coming from a pet. As she got older, and much wearier, she would still follow me from room to room, even though it cost her much pain to do so. Her last walk out of our house was not on her own feet; my husband had to gently carry her to the car, and she put her gray nose into the breeze one last time and then shut her eyes as we drove slowly, hardly able to see through tears, to the vet. http://www.gatehousenewsservice.com/opinions/columnists/x1059918976

EDITORIAL: LEGALIZE MARIJUANA: What if there was a natural medicine that could help reduce pain, relieve nausea, increase appetite and decrease stress, all with minimal side effects? So why don’t more people take it (or at least admit publicly to doing so)? Because the federal government won’t let them. http://www.gatehousenewsservice.com/opinions/editorials/x79614297
